The Way of the Master Radio is a daily, two-hour North American broadcast radio show, one of the media ministry arms of The Way of the Master ministries. It began airing in January 2006. The daily host is Todd Friel, who broadcasts daily alongside producer Tony Verkinnis in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Several times a week Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, the founders of the ministry and television show co-hosts, also join in from their studio in the ministry's Bellflower, California headquarters.

[edit] Segments

Segements include:

"The Pre-Show Show," where Friel answers listener e-mails.
"Street Fishin'," where a ministry staff member goes to southern California to witness to non-Christians, using their cell phone to communicate with the studio. The staff member often witness him/herself (with their cell phone set up for the audience to listen), or let one of the hosts (Friel, Comfort, or Cameron) witness via the phone itself.
"Phone Fishin'," where the hosts will randomly select a name out of the phone book, and then call that number to share Christiantiy with whoever answers.
Playing live segments of The Great News Network "Evangelism Boot Camps."
"Tony's News," a three-minute segment between the first and second hours where Verkinnis shares news stories, followed by a snarky comment from a Christian perspective.
"An Evolution Miracle," a mocking defense of intelligent design. Friel uses a part of the human anatomy (ranging from the elbow or foot to cranial sutures as a proof of the evolutionary theory, often saying such things as, "So, everybody got together for an evolutionary meeting, took a vote, and decided that the best solution was to evolve feet." Verkinnis then, in an innocent tone of voice, asks a question such as "If that's true, wouldn't we all have fallen over and starved to death in the intervening millions of years?", which leads Friel into a mock rant ("All I'm trying to do is give the evolutionists some hope and encouragement and peace on the road to hell, and you just throw it to pieces with your logic and reason! I hope you're happy!").
"Free for All Friday," where every Friday Friel answers any and all questions listeners call in to pose (except for questions concerning predestination).

[edit] Availability

According to their station listing as of July 2006, the daily show is available daily on roughly four dozen terrestrial radio stations, including Austrialia's Rhema Radio Network, as well as on Sirius Satellite Radio and via Internet streaming and podcasting. Another fifty-some stations air a weekly "best of" show.

[edit] The Way of the Master Minute

Along with the daily show, the ministry produces daily one-minute devotional-type spots to be played on Christian stations to urge Christians to evangelise. These are much more prevalent on airwaves than the actual show itself; in early 2006, the 600 stations of the Calvary Satellite Network began airing the spots.
